Time to archive my CD collection.
Will start ripping to FLAC; once done will encode FLACs to MP3 v0 or AAC 256. Questions: - What is the best Windows CD-to-FLAC ripper? - Is there any advice regarding bad/good CD readers? For example, will my notebooks DVD/CD reader be reliable? - What is the best tagging program?I'd like to start tagging FLACs. On the repository side I like MusicBrainz and lastFM genre finder - What is the best album art importer? Once tagged FLACs, I would ike to import high quality album arts (minimum 500x500) possibly 900x900 (will help in the future browsing covers using a touch screen on large touch screen monitors!) - Once done I would encode from FLAC to lossy for portability purposes: MP3 V0 or AAC 256? Thanks for helping |

>(kinda like parity-protected memory or RAID5)
Perhaps a raid comparison is not a good one, as RAID5 - it either works or it does not, if it does not you know about it (cannot read from 2 failed discs). Error detection from CD audio is different, in that there is a error detection hole through which errors can slip by, without the CD drive even knowing there is an error, c2 pointers or not. -------------------- Spoon http://www.dbpoweramp.com
